2003 Chrysler Concorde Limited sedan 4dr automatic

The Chrysler Concorde still cuts a nice profile, impressive given this design is in its fifth year. Most cars, particularly those with more daring designs, tend to look dated after a few years. This isn't one of them. The bold grille and fluid lines still look terrific.

Concorde Limited boasts a 250-horsepower high-output 3.5-liter V6, premium leather seating surfaces, and eight-way power heated driver and front passenger seats, 240-watt stereo and other luxury features. Memory systems recall radio settings, seating and mirror adjustments. Several features help make the most of the more powerful engine: Bigger (17-inch) tires offer more grip and come wrapped around chrome-clad aluminum wheels. Traction control, which reduces front wheel spin when accelerating over slippery surfaces, is standard, along with ABS, which allows the driver to brake and steer at the same time in a panic stop. Speed-sensitive power steering is also standard, making the steering effort light in parking lots yet maintaining solid steering feel at highway speeds.

Major safety features include anti-lock brakes with low-speed traction control, available in an option package for the Limited. Minor audio-system upgrades are the sole changes of note for 2003 to Chrysler's mainstream full-size sedan. Concorde offers the Limited models. It shares it’s under skin design with the Dodge Intrepid and is also the foundation for Chrysler's sporty 300M near-luxury sedan. Concorde seats five, or six with the optional front bench.

All use a 4-speed automatic transmission and have 4-wheel disc brakes. ABS is standard on Limited. The Limited models get traction control. Front side airbags are optional on this model. For '03, the optional in-dash CD changer holds 6 discs instead of four. Concorde's performance and accommodations mirror those of like-equipped Dodge Intrepid.
